Spoiled By the Young Master After Reborn In the 80s-Chapter 889: Eight hundred and eighty-seven, Contractual terms
Chapter 889: Eight hundred and eighty-seven, Contractual terms
After handing Murong Bing over to the Elder of the Medicine Cabinet, Luo Shu and Yang Muxue left the Disciple Court. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Passing by the square, they saw from afar the ongoing combat between newly initiated disciples.
Lu Hanmo, Luo Qianyu, and Yun Han were sitting on the high platform, watching the battle below.
It was as if he sensed something; Lu Hanmo’s gaze shifted toward Luo Shu.
At the sight of Luo Shu, a gentle and tender smile blossomed on his originally expressionless face, and his profound eyes overflowed with doting affection and softness.
Luo Shu raised a sweet smile and waved at Lu Hanmo.
Yun Han watched Lu Hanmo and Luo Shu’s interaction, his lips curling into a bitter smile as he diverted his gaze. He had long understood that he could never intervene between Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo, as their hearts were already filled with each other. He never thought to intrude or disrupt, but it was just that his heart was uncontrollably clinging on.
Luo Qianyu patted Yun Han on the shoulder and offered a comforting smile. Shushu had asked for his opinion on whether to clear the air with Yun Han, but he thought it was best to let nature take its course. It was already painful for Yun Han to have fallen in love with the wrong person; let time slowly bring about change. Perhaps one day, Yun Han would come to a realization, or he would meet the person destined for him.
Yun Han shook his head with a laugh. He also understood that he was trapped by his own emotions, yet some things couldn’t simply be let go of at will. Should Luo Shu one day tell him she didn’t like him and wished for him to move on, he really wouldn’t know how to face her.
Some things left unsaid allowed everyone to feign ignorance and let time slowly change the situation. Once spoken, relations could become awkward, and even if unable to let go, one wouldn’t know how to face the other.
Luo Shu and Yang Muxue arrived at the high platform and sat down beside Lu Hanmo and Luo Qianyu.
"Did you have a fun day today?" Lu Hanmo reached out to hold Luo Shu’s hand, smiling as he gazed at her intently.
Luo Shu nodded with a smile, "We went to the Combat Arena and recruited three disciples with good aptitude. How about here?"
"Several good ones here as well," Lu Hanmo replied with a smile.
Luo Shu nodded, "Our primary task right now is to replenish the ranks of the Elders." This was an urgent matter, as the upper echelon’s power in the Divine Doctor Sect was rather weak. Not to mention thirty-two Elders at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, they didn’t even have two. Once she and Hanmo left, only Yun Han would remain.
A silence fell among those present. They also knew the gravity of the situation, but Cultivators above the Mahayana Realm weren’t easy to find. Those who managed to cultivate their powers to the Mahayana Realm clearly weren’t lacking in cultivation resources. Furthermore, if they had wanted to join a sect, they would have already done so.
"It’s not that easy to find them," said Luo Qianyu with a sigh.
"Luo Shu, are your friends from Lan Star as well?" asked Yun Han.
"Not exactly, they’re just temporarily residing on Lan Star," replied Luo Shu. The people of the Dragon Clan were currently in her space; they were wherever she was. If it weren’t for the fact that people in the Immortal Realm were hunting the Dragon Clan, she might consider negotiating with them to leave some of them at the Divine Doctor Sect.
Suddenly, a thought sparked in her mind, "I know where we can find strong Cultivators above the Transcendance Tribulation Stage."
"Where?" Everyone looked at Luo Shu with curiosity.
"Deadly Mountain Range," Luo Shu said with a smirk. Xi Lin’s elder brother was injured by a Level Six Spirit Beast in the Deadly Mountain Range. A Level Six Spirit Beast’s strength was comparable to, or even greater than, a human Cultivator at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, and Level Six Spirit Beasts were already able to transform into human form.
"Are you suggesting we find Spirit Beasts?" Luo Qianyu and Yun Han immediately understood Luo Shu’s idea; they were not unfamiliar with the Deadly Mountain Range.
With a smile, Luo Shu nodded, "Actually, those friends of mine are all Spirit Beasts." The Dragon Clan should actually be classified as Immortal Beasts.
Luo Qianyu thought for a moment, "Even if we find those Spirit Beasts, they would need to submit to us." This was crucial.
"You can make contracts with them," said Luo Shu. She could contract Xiao Qing and the others, so they should be able to as well.
"Master! They can’t contract with Spirit Beasts," Xiao Qing’s voice came from the space.
"Why not?" Luo Shu asked in surprise.
"Not everyone in this world can contract with them; a Spirit Beast must first be willing to sign a life-binding contract. The reason you can contract with Spirit Beasts is that you’ve signed a life-binding contract with me," explained Xiao Qing. He wasn’t an ordinary Spirit Beast; his bloodline carried the heritage of the Dragon Clan, so after forming a contract with Luo Shu, there was no limit to the number of Spirit Beasts she could contract with—she could make contracts with as many as she wished.
Conversely, if it’s an ordinary Spirit Beast that signs a life-binding contract with a Cultivator, the number of Spirit Beasts the Cultivator can contract with would also be limited. Many can only contract with one Spirit Beast.
Luo Shu immediately understood, "In that case, if we find a Level Six Spirit Beast, only I will be able to contract with it."
"That’s correct," replied Xiao Qing.
"How would we contract with them?" Luo Qianyu and Yun Han asked in astonishment.
"Xiao Qing says a Spirit Beast has to be willing to sign a life-binding contract with you. How about we head to the Deadly Mountain Range first, and if we find a Spirit Beast, we’ll discuss it then," suggested Luo Shu. Even if a life-binding contract is necessary, they should aim for a Spirit Beast with considerable strength.
"When should we set off?" Luo Qianyu asked.
Luo Shu pondered for a moment, "How long would it take from here to reach the Deadly Mountain Range?"
"About ten days," answered Luo Qianyu. Lan Star had many areas with flight restrictions; the only way to travel there was by beast carriage, and even the fastest beast carriage would take eight to nine days to reach the Deadly Mountain Range.
"In that case, it would take us almost a month to make a round trip. Added to the time searching for Spirit Beasts in the Deadly Mountain Range, it might not be enough without a month. Can you afford to leave the sect for such a long period?" Luo Shu looked at Luo Qianyu and Yun Han.
Luo Qianyu and Yun Han frowned. Such a long absence indeed posed a problem for them.
"We can’t leave the sect for that long of a time; the sect is just starting out and there’s still a lot to handle," said Luo Qianyu reluctantly.
"That’s true," Yun Han nodded in agreement.
"Then let Hanmo and I handle this," Luo Shu decided. If they were pressed for time, she would have Hanmo return first. Hanmo had only requested two months of leave, and nearly half a month had already passed.
After some thought, Luo Qianyu said, "That’s probably for the best! But be careful."
Compared to the Divine Doctor Sect, their well-being was of utmost importance. He would rather give up the sect than have them come to harm because of it.
"We will be, don’t worry!" Luo Shu said with a smile.
